Thesis Update #1: Combat Demo

I posted this on my sketchbook last night only to get immediately bumped, so I thought I'd go ahead and make a slightly bigger blog post so it would take like 4 bumps to put this where nobody can see it

Right now most of the functionality is present in the combat scenes, there's just a few navigational and UI bugs that I'd like to iron out before I go back to fiddling with the overworld. As you may have noticed the knights still have no voices yet, so if you'd like to make things easier for miragefla the applications are still open!

Here's also a few early shots from the prototype, taken quite a bit earlier than the video:

I should note the characters are still very chunky block-ins as the actual process of making them won't start until next semester; these minecraft knockoffs are just there to help me with scale and animation.

I'm not posting as much process on this as I usually do out of necessity, as I think the final product will be more rewarding if you aren't in on every single step of the process. Anyway, that should probably explain my absence from the ODB for the time being, though I've been playing around with pin-ups and an inktober substitute in my spare time that I may re-bump with in a few weeks.
